RHS Flower Show Cardiff

About the RHS Flower Show Cardiff

17–19 April 2020

We welcome spring in style at the beautiful Bute Park in the heart of Cardiff City Centre. RHS Flower Show Cardiff celebrates the best of springtime, inspiring gardeners to creatively use their outdoor spaces, and encourages visitors to learn and grow as gardeners.

The RHS Show Cardiff has been held in the parklands of Cardiff Castle since 2005, and in 2015, attracted record crowds with more than 24,000 visitors from across the UK. The setting is particularly appropriate for the first outdoor show of the RHS season, as the parklands are hugely significant in horticultural heritage terms. The show offers an opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy the best of horticulture in Bute Park, ‘The Green Heart of the City’.

What's on in 2019

RHS Flower Show Cardiff kicks off the first of our major flower shows. Set in Bute Park in the heart of Cardiff city centre, the show celebrates the best of springtime and encourages visitors to creatively use their outdoor spaces.

Along with beautiful gardens, endless shopping and a plant-packed Floral Marquee, the show at Cardiff will reveal how gardens and exploring the great outdoors can benefit our health and wellbeing. There’ll also be plenty of tasty eateries to make a stop-off for lunch, plus a host of demonstrations and workshops to get stuck into.
